Summary: Average for a howard book
Review: Expected much much better from a book on John Medina. Have been looking forward to it, but found it a letdown. Firstly, we have John, who is a superman who can do everything, maybe even sew a dress. In his line of work, he's constantly surrounded by murder, mayhem and worse, yet he manages to keep his humour and optimism intact without even a hint of cynicism. What does that make him? Ok, superman. Other than this, the lack of suspense in this romantic suspense story really irks. If one wants to know what is truly a romantic thriller, one should check out Anne Stuart's books. Now that's the real stuff.

Summary: Another Satisfied Customer
Review: This book is exactly what you would expect of Linda Howard's move into the suspense genre and it has not, in any way, affected the quality of her writing. Don't pay any attention to people who say it's different in style, too sensual, too boring, too whatever... Any avid Linda Howard reader would recognise her style under any pseudonym. Too sensual? Not if you've ever read any existing Linda Howard novel, and boring - don't make me laugh. The story grabs you from the very beginning and never lets go - not for a bit. I was ecstatic to witness the return of John Medina - he was one of those cleverly hinted at characters in one of her earlier novels. Niema is heartbreakingly feisty and vulnerable at the same time, like most of Linda Howard's heroines. John is the strong, silent loner who, in any other book, would be called a stereotype, but in this one just... fits. The plot is strong and moves at a fast, suspense-filled pace. Surprisingly, one of the secondary characters strikes a bitter-sweet cord in your heart. Just when you thought you'd sifted out the good guys from the bad. I too, can't wait for Chance McKenzie's story (please don't let it be too far away). In the meantime, I'll make do with anything Linda Howard has to offer. She hasn't disappointed me yet - and that is something I can say about very few authors in all my years of reading.

Summary: All the Queen's Men
Review: I found that this book is very focused on action. Howard has started to put more emphasis on the action part of her stories and less on dialogue. I loved Howard's book Dreamman and the next few books, but now she seems more determined to start writing on suspense rather than romance. She has a good way with words, but i would have liked it better with more romance and less..."Me man, you woman, let's get married" Actually, we don't even find out if they get married!

Summary: Master does it again
Review: I couldn't put this one down. I made the mistake of picking it up to start to read it a chapter or two at bedtime. Five hours later I finally closed the book. It was great, it was neat to see how she developed the characters, especially Medina who was literally a ghost in Kill and Tell. Definetly worth reading again, and again, and again.

Summary: I didn't even finish it
Review: I love Linda Howard...I have read every book she has ever written. I was so disappointed with this book, I didn't even finish it. If you like Linda Howard, don't waste your time with this one. She must have been under deadline when she wrote this.

Summary: A good read!
Review: This was my first Linda Howard book and it had me on my toes. I listened to this romantic thiller on tape. I normally don't listen to an audiobook more than once, but I did listened to "All the Queen's Men" three times. Ms. Howard strong writing skills are clearly seen in the romantic scenes. But she holds on in the suspense scenes. I was glad to see a female character holding her own in a suspenseful book. I'm looking forward to Ms. Howard next book.

Summary: I liked it!
Review: I'd never read Linda Howard before, but decided to try this book after reading a few reviews. I very much enjoyed it. I really didn't know what to expect so reading a romantic thriller was a pleasant surprise. I must admit, it doesn't seem as if "thriller" writing is this author's strong point, but that's only because the book lacked the "hard edge" that a lot of thrillers have. But that's not to say it doesn't work. It does. However, the author's strength is in her romance writing. She created a romantic tension between John and Niemi that just about had me swooning. And to top it off, I was pleasantly surprised (okay, shocked) at the sensuality of some of the romantic scenes. The two genres together made for an entertaining good read. The characters were great too -- John Medina is strength personified. He's all man and he's strictly business, with one exception -- Niemi. Not only that, he has some very creative ways to get them out of a jam. Niemi, on the other hand, loves the excitement of undercover work, but she's not too sure about her feelings for John, or any man for that matter. She'll soon find out. The plot is good, the setting is varied, and the pace is fast. Bottom line, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

Summary: John can come to my house
Review: What a fantastic book! Suspenseful, fast-paced and sooooooo romantic. Niema is one of Howard's best creations...A smart, savvy heroine who is a nice change from the shivering Paris Sweeney and deer-in-the-headlights Karen Whitlaw. John Medina is a dream. If only there really were such a man...
